The Droplet

A droplet of ink formed at nib of pen I flung it swiftly, seeing it as waste. Then theorized what it might have been Had I not acted in such great haste. An aborted word, or merely a smudge That in my haste I'd neglected to blot. Time elapsed, but my mind wouldn't budge From that small unassuming black spot.
